The Las Vegas Raiders will use this offseason to explore free agency and the NFL Draft as means of strengthening their team. Teams can improve quickly over the summer when players return to health and new players are added. For a team like the Raiders, who were possibly only a few plays away from making the playoffs this season, this offseason is crucial. Three of the starting five offensive linemen for Las Vegas are scheduled to become free agents. At least one, if not more, of the Raiders’ offensive line positions will likely see a change in personnel. Of course, they’ll need to fill those gaps with players capable of starting.

The Raiders should concentrate most of their efforts on rebuilding their offensive line because they have a quarterback battle, a new offensive coordinator, and a new offensive line coach. The Raiders were a squad whose offensive was meant to be their main focus. If they want to succeed next season, they must address their offensive line first.

But Las Vegas must remember to keep strengthening their defense. Maxx Crosby, Malcolm Koonce, and Tyree Wilson are among the defensive line assets the Raiders can keep adding to. If their defensive line posed a continual danger, the already excellent defense would get even better. Having more talent in the group would facilitate that.
